MIXED BERRY FREEZER JAM

Steps:

• Stir together the sugar, pectin and salt in a small bowl until combined. Mash the berries in a separate large bowl with a fork or potato masher until evenly and finely crushed; stir in the lemon juice.
• Add the sugar mixture to the berry mixture and stir until well combined and the sugar has fully dissolved, about 2 minutes (this will also help the pectin bloom). Ladle into a glass mason jar or other freezer-safe container and set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes to set. Cover and store in the freezer for up to 1 year.

TRIPLE BERRY FREEZER JAM

Steps:

• Combine crushed strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and sugar in a medium bowl. (I use a potato masher to crush the berries, you can leave some whole).
• Let stand 15 minutes.
• Gradually stir freezer jam pectin into fruit mixture.
• Stir 3 minutes; let stand 5 minutes.
• Ladle jam into can-or-freeze jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace.
